Abstract

A simple theoretical model is presented dealing with the mechanical motion of the bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase during transcription. Derivation of a physical model, based on accepting the existence of a series of Michaelian-type complexes during the transcription, resulted in a contradiction with physical reality. In order to solve this energetic contradiction, a model is suggested regarding the polymerase as an elastic, fluctuating entity instead of a quasi-rigid sphere.
